About this Item

B/w paper map 44 x 50cm, folding down to 22 x 14cm. Very good with short fold tears, lightly tanned with a little paperclip rust residue to right edge. Scale approx 1.6 miles to the inch. Compiled and reproduced by 947th Engineer Aviation Topographic Company from 41st Photo Reconnaissance photos. This shows 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class roads, and numerous military installations including airfields, ammunition dumps, hospitals, submarine and pilot rest camps, rocket range, bomb disposal, 3rd and 6th Marine Divisions etc. Undated but around the time the US turned the island into a base for Allied operations after recapturing it from the Japanese in 1944. Very rare - just 2 copies of a revised 1948 edition on Worldcat (Dartmouth Library, University of Washington Library) which make reference to an earlier 1947 edition. A revised edition was issued in a smaller 23 x 33cm format.
